Gilas Pilipinas star guard Dwight Ramos, who just turned 25, remains committed to the national men's basketball team even as he signs a contract extension with Levanga in the Japan B. League
As a starter, Ramos was the highest-scoring local at 13.2 points, which went along with 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest, including a 20-point, 12-rebound effort in a loss against debutants South Sudan.
“Each team plays a different way so you kind of have to recognize it quickly and learn how to counter very fast,” said Ramos. “I think that’s something that could help me in the B. League with so many teams, must adjust quickly.” The co-host was able to secure the coveted Asian outright berth in the 2024 Paris Olympics, nosing out contenders such as Iran, Jordan, China, Lebanon and the Philippines.
